Well, I was reading this morning in The Master Teacher's talk called History is Only You, and it states here "The most valuable single thing that you can ever come to know in your awakening process is that you are causing what is occurring outside you..not a little bit of it, but all of it.
...You actually think that things that are occurring outside of you are beyond your own control. If that is true, there is indeed no God, and there could never be.
You have forgotten that you are dreaming this and it has absolutely no reality. And that's difficult for you to look at. So what do you do? You hold inside of you all of these incredible notions and emotions and manifestations of illusions and consciousnesses and hates and loves and fears and guilt. And you tie it all up down inside of you because literally that is what your constitution is: limited selfness. Who is the anti-Christ? Who but you? You , standing separate from the totality of your absolute truthfulness in consciousness."
Wow. So, that's a very fundamental idea. That you are the cause of the entire problem. And you are therefore, also the solution. But you have to have the experience of this, not just entertain the ideas and think about them as an intellectual exercise of some sort.
Ego mind is you. You as the cause of all the suffering and pain and death on the earth. You must surrender this now. Because it is only getting worse. You must undergo your black hole experience. Know that you cannot possibly find the solution outside of you, because you are causing all the problems of the world. No one will listen to you, no one wants to know that they are the cause, yet, until you accept it, you are just a victim. You are actually nothing.
You really think that you can communicate with human beings. Everyone is in his own bubble of associated thoughts about himself. You cannot know what to say to him. He is a projected image of your own mind. Can you stand it? Can you work out this problem and solve it yourself? Go ahead and try.
I promise you this is a dream and you are the dreamer. It is time to wake up to the simple fact that all your fears, all your death ideas are in you alone. No one else is causing you to think this way.
I was worrying the other day about money and a voice said to me, "Stop this now. You are misusing your mind." It was a very important thing. Because I do worry out of habit. I think I have a problem, and boom...there I go worrying again. But the worry is intolerable. Finally, I hate it. I cannot stand to be fearful. It feels horrible. I am totally denying God when I am in fear. There is no God when I am afraid. I have just denied him and denied my own reality in that moment. Fear is insidious, but I have to stop giving into fear thoughts. My mind is all powerful, whatever I think extends. So, if I give up fear, immediately, I find myself happy again.
The voice was reminding me that I have already awakened. I don't have to worry about anything any more. I will be told exactly what to do and when, what to say to someone, what to do in every circumstance.
I just love being free to think a different way. To let go of fear, and come into the certainty that I am as God created me. I am not a body. I am free. I do not have to be in this world at all.
I teleport all the time. My mind is free and I have no limits.
If this happened to me it is happening to you. Because you are a thought in my mind. Jesus resurrected and solved the whole thing for us. My resurrrection is yours. Just accept it and you will find yourself happy beyond belief.
Happiness is your natural state of mind. You do not have to worry about anything ever! You are not limited to this body, to this physical idea of you as a separate thing. You are MIND. And MIND is total, whole and unlimited.
God is the Mind with which I think.
Be happy and free and know you are perfect as God created you!
Love and blessings!

My Attack Thoughts
This is from Workbook Lesson 26, one of my favorites: "The idea for today introduces the thought that you always attack yourself first. If attack thoughts must entail the belief that you are vulnerable, their effect is to weaken you in your own eyes. Thus they have attacked your perception of yourself. And because you believe in them, you can no longer believe in yourself. A false image of yourself has come to take the place of what you are."
If you accepted this idea, that you always attack yourself first, and this results in your misperception of yourself, and therefore, of everyone and everything...you would simply choose to stop. Why weaken yourself? Don't you want to be free? Unlimited, fearless and happy?
In other words, whenever you experience conflictual thoughts in your mind, thoughts of judgment, fear, anger, doubt, envy, lack, worry, anxiety...you name it...you feel the pain of these thoughts immediately. All these thoughts are manufactured by you and you have done this to your beautiful self. Can you stop?
The answer is YES! But you must become wholly aware that your attack thoughts are not coming from outside of your mind. When you accept singularity, or the idea that you are totally responsible for your thoughts, you will become more aware and more willing to release these conflictual thoughts.
Here's more from this very important lesson: "Practice with today's idea will help you to understand that vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of your own thoughts. Nothing except your thoughts can hurt you."
Wow, that's a statement. Because you always think that someone else is doing it to you...I know you do, because I did, and I had to get really sick and tired of my attack thoughts. The idea that I can be attacked is the most ridiculous thought of all. I am the Holy Son of God Himself. So, nothing can really affect me, except my own thoughts about myself. If I am judging, I am judged. If I am afraid, I feel that fear within me. This is a dream of fear, and all the effects of fear are actually gone. But, I maintain them in my mind if I choose. So, I can simply choose to let them go.
This does take practice, however. So, I have to stop attacking myself with my thoughts. And let God be God and release me from this dream of attack. The lesson continues..."I am concerned about _____________. I am afraid __________ will happen."
Then you have to fill in these blanks by searching your mind. You will be amazed at how many fear thoughts are in your mind. The release comes when you apply this statement to them:
"That thought is an attack upon myself."
Wow. That's it. But do it. And do it all day long, whenever you are not wholly joyous and at peace.
Be very specific with this and write it out if you want to. It is always good to see what you are thinking on paper.
Fear is very devious and it is in the background of your mind most of the time. So, this lesson is really helpful in uncovering those specific thoughts and releasing these attacks upon yourself.
OK? Let me know how this goes for you.
Love and blessings,
Monica

Letter From Greece
MY MIND'S TRAFFIC JAM
Sep 16, 12:01PM
Hello Monica,
The reason you haven't heard from me for so long, is not that I do not have any questions any more or that I don't need help.
It's because whenever a question pops up into my mind, the answer comes with it, as well. I also know that all the help I need is within me..
I know that God goes with me wherever I go, and I am never left alone..
But there still is one thing that has not improved with my mind...this traffic jam of thoughts!! I mean during my practice periods,
This "In quiet I receive God's Word", I have not experienced yet! I keep asking the angels to guard my mind, I visualize them as traffic policemen sending the uninvited thoughts out, but the traffic jam keeps holding on....
The other thing I do is to repeat the day's lesson like a mantra, in order to at least substitute the other thoughts with this.. But is this what I am asked to do?
Anyway, I forgive myself and go on...I am sure that there must be other people like me.
If you think that it will be helpful, you can post my message and your answer in your blog.
Blessings from Greece,
Christina
Here's my response:
Dear Christina:
This is not a practice of mantra where you just repeat an idea over and over again and never let it actually mean anything to you. It is better to follow the exact instructions in the lesson itself. Jesus, the author of the Course, knows how undisciplined your mind is. So each lesson has a specific instruction within it. Yes, you apply it all day long to the situations in which you find yourself. However, don't let it be simply a repetition. It has to be an activation. You must actively start denying the fear within your mind. Your mind has all power, this is a way to start to think entirely differently. It is a mind training. It is an experience of the release of your fear. It is a release of your self-identity.
I would suggest to all Course in Miracles students to get copies of the Master Teacher's videos. He will provide the light reference you will need in order to get out of the habitual fearful mindset that you have been in for a very long time. It doesn't take a long time to practice and apply these lessons. But you need the help of an awakened Master to reach full enlightenment. This means that you will discover yourself. You will feel totally different. All your meaningless petty worries will disappear and you will find yourself in a lot of light!
This is what happened to me after just one video. I felt my whole being leave this time/space reference and I was totally free. Then after several hours, I came back in and felt totally changed. This was a real experience, something I couldn't figure out or try to work on. It happened to me because I was completely open to it. I wanted a way out. I was asking for it and so it was given me. It wasn't fearful at all, but I didn't resist it. I was sure I wanted to know who I really am.
So, contact the link I have listed on the right side panel that says For Materials and More to get the videos, or you can also watch them online at endeavoracademy.com.
OK? Let me know how it's going and thank you for the letter, Christina!

Illuminate Minds Unite!
I am constantly faced with opinions. Opinions of what is going on here,ideas that make no real sense. Actually, all your opinions are just ideas of preferences and things you like as opposed to things you don't like. Comparisons, really.
All comparison is simply a game you play with perception. You are the perceiver, the one doing the seeing of the things apparently outside you. Yet, you are not accepting total responsibility for the seeing. If you were, you would choose only to release it in every moment. You would not hang onto your own perception for a second, because you would realize it cannot but be false. You would see that all perception is what the falsity is and you, the one doing it then, must be false. You as a separate entity, are false. Period.
Wow. So, then all my ideas about myself, all my associated ideas, which is what karma is, are false. So I don't have to give them any meaning any more. Just release them. Let go of the ideas I made up. Lesson 132, I loose the world from all I thought it was, reveals the idea that your beliefs make up the world you see. You can be free of them, by simply deciding you don't like what you've made up. You don't want it any more. And you would be in Heaven instantly.
Is it that simple? Truth is true and nothing else is true. That is simple. Love is simple because it is simply Itself. I really love the idea that I have nothing to say about truth. That truth doesn't need my opinion to be true. In fact, my opinion is meaningless, because only my acceptance of truth is required.
I need do nothing. I need only accept that fact that I am whole and perfect as God created me.
I cannot do this without help because apparently I put myself asleep by having one crazy idea that I could be separate from God. All doubt is doubt about myself. yet what I am doubting is that God is love and that I am what love is because I am an idea in His Mind. All ideas of lack are ideas that I am separate from God. None of which is true.
I am whole and perfect as God created me. Does the world want to know this? I made up the world to protect my denial of the truth. I wanted to deny it, and I did. Then, by experiencing the intense pain of this denial, I really got tired of the game I was playing with myself. I wanted desperately to know what was true, what was really going on and how to get out of this mess. Actually, I don't know anything about anyone else. There really isn't a world outside my mind. So I don't need to be concerned with it. Yet, I do want to extend the light of my mind so that anyone looking for the answer will find it.
I want to be happy, but I can't be happy till I make you happy too! Its a great song. I love you. I love my brother for helping me all along the way, for being my savior. For the Master Teacher, for every brother who cried out for help. And received the help that was given.
The documentary, "A Course in Miracles Unleashed" shows that everyone who sincerely wants out of the darkness, will find their way. We all got tired of being miserable and in pain, we all asked for help, we all received the Course, and we all left! Wow. So, now I am in an experience of leaving constantly. I come into time and space for a brief moment to convert the darkness to light and then leave. That is all I am doing here. I am so grateful that this is now only that. There is really nothing outside me that I need to be concerned about.
A converter is someone who has accepted Atonement for himself. Simple and true. Thank you for your dedication to the light and love of your true Self. You are what love is. You are what peace is. Peace comes into your mind when you have given up the idea of conflict. Forever.
Thank you, and I really hope this helps you in your transformation from a separate little self to the glorious reflection of love that you are. You are an idea in the Mind of God. Wow! Have a great day!
Love,
Monica

What is Karma?
What is karma? Your associate thoughts about yourself in time. I was reading in the Master Teacher's book, How Simple the Solution, and I loved this idea. How is your karma undone? Listen.
"Where are you in the gathering of your own associate thoughts, karma is the Eastern term, with the capacity to see the Christ who is obviously all about you? Am I, in that sense, a representation of that? Yes! Since perceptutal mind is representational, you are using me as a representation of what you think the possibility of a Christ might be. And that's okay. You will discover if you are with me, that my absolute justice and honesty consist of constancy. All the consciousnesses who have come to me in love have discovered the hard work and difficulty of dealing with a constant mind. I said this to you yesterday, that while I appear not to discipline, nothing could ever be more disciplined or difficult or simple, finally, than the no-alternative presentation that emanates from light to darkness...okay?
I think there is an idea that people who seek illumination or samadhi or enlightenment, that as that progresses on the path, they become more blissful and more happy. Those of you who have entertained that idea have come to discover that the process of enlightenment involves facing, each moment, the conflict between time and eternity. That's the Workbook of the Course, that's what we teach."
Well, that explains why the process of illumination is work. It takes great discipline, great constancy and devotion to the work. I have recently decided to do Hatha Yoga each morning, and this practice has become a really important part of my awakening right now. I am in a dedication. I feel myself challenged by it and I love it. That is what I live for...meeting the challenge of the awakening of my mind. It isn't easy. It's work! But it's work that pays off instantly! Ifeel myself changing, my cells vibrating with light after each session and all day long. I feel good!
I find myself able to do more than I could have imagined. I can actually do all those postures! I never thought I would be able to. Just as with the mind training, I never thought I would be totally free from judgment...I just thought it would take lifetimes. But, not so. I proved it to myself that this Workbook really does work. All you have to do is do it. Apply it and you literally change yourself entirely and everything around you is affected. It works, if you work it.
So, as with all spiritual or material endeavors, if you set the goal, you will reach it. Why? Because you have all power. It doesn't always get easier...there are times when it is really difficult. That is how you know you are doing it, you are in the process of learning the release mechanism. Use it! Become defenseless within your mind. Open up! Let in the light and let it free you. This has to become your way of relating to this world you made up. Once you have mastered yourself, have mastered your reaction to everything that comes your way...you are free.
This is your chosen path home. Be about it! I love you and want only to help speed you up in your process!
Love and blessings!
Monica

What Does it Mean to Be in the Now?
While reading The Power of Now, I keep asking myself, what is the ultimate goal of this book? I am always asking myself...what is it for? That is the question that I must ask myself lately. What is it for? If it meets the goal I have set for myself, it will serve my purpose, and help me in my spiritual healing and growth. But, if not, I simply don't have to do it.
That is exercising power of mind. My peace of mind is everything to me. I don't want conflict in my awareness any longer. But to truly have a consistent experience of peace, which is my goal, I have to be willing to look at the thoughts in my mind and let them go. Spiritual transformation does not mean that I will never have a conflictual thought, it just means I will have none that I would keep. I am in a transformation now. I don't want anxiety to rule my mind and I do want to be healed. My spiritual healing involves arriving in the NOW moment where I can feel the stillness underlying all action.
How did I get here? I had to apply the lessons of A Course in Miracles and I had help from the Master Teacher. I also needed all my brothers who are in this process with me. I left the earth at one point and saw my mind was free and that I was not a body. Then, when I came back, I realized there is still work to be done. I am in service to the spiritual transformation of my mind. Is this mind your mind? Yes! We are not separate, so my mind is a healing mind. So is yours. It has to be.
Prayer, stillness, mental peace is all a part of it. The great global awakening is occurring whether you are aware of it or not. All forms of personal development are healing the suffering and depression of the human mind. And there is a point you reach where you go beyond human mind thinking. You go beyond your personal reference. You go beyond the idea of death. This is where you become illuminate. You have no cares for yourself individually. You simply want to help. You are aware that you are dreaming and you are now free of the concerns for your body. But you are also aware that you are here to serve, to give, and to love.
It becomes an all inclusive thing. Spiritual life is singular, my life is your life. I know you perfectly well. The movie, A Course in Miracles Unleashed shows that the joining of the mind is everything. The inner transformation is inevitable and it really works. This powerful documentary shows that this great awakening is happening to people everywhere because it is time. It is time to let go of human suffering and pain and to let your ideas of death be released. It is time for the second coming. Which is simply you, coming home to your Self.
Every person on the movie stated virtually the same thing...I was in pain, I got sick and tired of the pain, I asked for help. I couldn't stand it any more. I got on my knees and I prayed. I let go of my ideas, a miracle occurred and I was freed of my problem. I was relieved of my suffering and I changed. Fundamentally changed. I resurrected and now I am free to live in the grace of God. I am free to be my SELF.
As an awakened mind, I see what is true and I am not fooled by appearances any more. I may not have money, or possessions and that is great. I welcome the change. It is now up to me to let go of the idea I need these things and stop clinging to them. I can let them go and be free to be myself no matter what appears to be happening to me.
Letting go of the physical attachment to these things isn't hard because, really, they are just IDEAS. Just ideas! The cells in my body are all light! I don't have to worry about whether I will have life insurance! I have total life assurance, because I AM LIFE ITSELF!
It is a quantum leap from egoic thinking, from bodily concerns to be illuminate and free. To know that no matter what, I actually already resurrected from this place of death. Jesus showed me the way and I left too. It is already over. Time is not sequential.
Mental peace is it. A certainty that in the NOW, I am myself. I am free of anxiety and pain. I am no longer afraid...of death, of my brother, or of anything! Lack is impossible. I am the fullness of creation!
I am happy knowing I am with God. So, I pray constantly because the mind is joined to the Creator and thinks the same thoughts. This is peace. This is inner peace. This is my goal. I don't even care how I got here. I just know it was a miracle.
What will it take for you to experience it? I don't know. It is beyond reading a book about someone else's experience. It is beyond reading a blog. You have to want it above all else. Do you want to be a part of this great awakening? It is exciting. It has never been done before. You are here to transform yourself back to your original state of mind...heaven, if you will. Peace, knowing who you are and who your brother is, is the goal.
Being in the now is only about happiness and freedom from concern. Your personal growth is more about undoing, rather than becoming something, enlightenment is but a recognition that you do not have the power to change what God created. Thank God! All your errors of thought made up your story of separation. But you could not make them real.
You are awakening from the dream. You are now coming out of death, suffering, and human ego thinking. You are now in a constant release of the fear that caused it. Thank you God. Peace is worth it. Knowing I live with God, with the energy of love in my mind always, even when I am distracted for a moment. I know that constant prayer works. Because it aligns me with the Creator, with God, my Father, who loves me.
I love you with all my heart. Let me know how I can help.
Oh, yeah. To view information about the movie, go to http://acourseinmiraclesunleashed.com/newsite/. See you there!

That is exercising power of mind. My peace of mind is everything to me. I don't want conflict in my awareness any longer. But to truly have a consistent experience of peace, which is my goal, I have to be willing to look at the thoughts in my mind and let them go. Spiritual transformation does not mean that I will never have a conflictual thought, it just means I will have none that I would keep. I am in a transformation now. I don't want anxiety to rule my mind and I do want to be healed. My spiritual healing involves arriving in the NOW moment where I can feel the stillness underlying all action.
How did I get here? I had to apply the lessons of A Course in Miracles and I had help from the Master Teacher. I also needed all my brothers who are in this process with me. I left the earth at one point and saw my mind was free and that I was not a body. Then, when I came back, I realized there is still work to be done. I am in service to the spiritual transformation of my mind. Is this mind your mind? Yes! We are not separate, so my mind is a healing mind. So is yours. It has to be.
Prayer, stillness, mental peace is all a part of it. The great global awakening is occurring whether you are aware of it or not. All forms of personal development are healing the suffering and depression of the human mind. And there is a point you reach where you go beyond human mind thinking. You go beyond your personal reference. You go beyond the idea of death. This is where you become illuminate. You have no cares for yourself individually. You simply want to help. You are aware that you are dreaming and you are now free of the concerns for your body. But you are also aware that you are here to serve, to give, and to love.
It becomes an all inclusive thing. Spiritual life is singular, my life is your life. I know you perfectly well. The movie, A Course in Miracles Unleashed shows that the joining of the mind is everything. The inner transformation is inevitable and it really works. This powerful documentary shows that this great awakening is happening to people everywhere because it is time. It is time to let go of human suffering and pain and to let your ideas of death be released. It is time for the second coming. Which is simply you, coming home to your Self.
Every person on the movie stated virtually the same thing...I was in pain, I got sick and tired of the pain, I asked for help. I couldn't stand it any more. I got on my knees and I prayed. I let go of my ideas, a miracle occurred and I was freed of my problem. I was relieved of my suffering and I changed. Fundamentally changed. I resurrected and now I am free to live in the grace of God. I am free to be my SELF.
As an awakened mind, I see what is true and I am not fooled by appearances any more. I may not have money, or possessions and that is great. I welcome the change. It is now up to me to let go of the idea I need these things and stop clinging to them. I can let them go and be free to be myself no matter what appears to be happening to me.
Letting go of the physical attachment to these things isn't hard because, really, they are just IDEAS. Just ideas! The cells in my body are all light! I don't have to worry about whether I will have life insurance! I have total life assurance, because I AM LIFE ITSELF!

The Power of Now
This excerpt is from Eckhart Tolle in The Power of Now:
In the timeless realm, where God dwells, which is also your home, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega, are one, and the essence of everything that ever has been and ever will be is eternally present in an unmanifested state of oneness and perfection—totally beyond anything the human mind can ever imagine or comprehend. In our world of seemingly separate forms, however, timeless perfection is an inconceivable concept. Here even consciousness, which is the light emanating from the eternal Source, seems to be subject to a process of development, but this is due to our limited perception. It is not so in absolute terms.
I love the expressions that Eckhart Tolle uses in his book. I see it as a kind of primer for those who truly want to awaken and begin a process of transformation. It is totally useful in this regard, it is confrontational and informative and those who read it and practice it will surely benefit from it.
Yet, to really embark upon a transformation of the mind, your mind requires a mind training, because as Tolle aptly states, your problem is your mind. And because your mind is the problem, the solution has to come from a relinquishment of the ego mind. How does one do that? This is how. Just do as you are told...one lesson at a time.
As A Course in Miracles states, “an untrained mind can accomplish nothing”. As I undergo a process of transformation by a constant relinquishing of my ideas, my separate thoughts of suffering, pain and death, I am aware of just how much focus and attention my mind required in order to become free. It is no small thing.
The mind is very devious and will convince you that you do not need to train your mind, or do the 12 Steps or really apply the teaching to every thought you think.
Yet, I am not willing to remain a prisoner of my mind. I simply I want to be free above all else. I know how tricky your ego mind is, how it thinks along these lines yet all the while maintaining its separate ideas. How it entertains spiritual ideas, yet never really embraces and applies the true teachings.
I see it all the time. I see it in myself when I judge my brother. I see it in my fears that cause all my unhappiness that I must uncover and reveal to the Holy Spirit. This is an undertaking that requires an initiation, a relinquishment and a constant attention to the light that lies beyond all form, and all of time and space. It is not easy. But you become free when you do it. When you apply it each and every moment that you are not happy.
Is it possible to live in joy all the time? Oh yes, absolutely! So, in this sense, you have nothing to worry about. Your awakening is inevitable. The Power of Now is helpful and the mind training of A Course in Miracles works totally because it is a required course. The documentary about to be released called A Course in Miracles Unleashed is a testament to the awakening of the mind using the lessons of the Workbook of the Course. It is such a beautiful testimony to the power of this course and how it changes you, how the calling is going out to those who are messengers, teachers of the universal course. It is time to awaken, to bring others to the point of making the one decision that determines all others.
So, you have all the help you need. But, you still have to do it. You have to apply it to your everyday life and your thoughts about yourself. And you need total help from awakened minds. I needed the Master Teacher and I needed every brother who supported me along the way. That is absolutely clear to me. I couldn’t wake myself up. I needed help. Luckily, I received this help right when I needed it.
And so are you. If you are reading this blog and are reading the Course, it isn't enough to just read it. You have to live it, breathe it, become it...until the ideas are the very thoughts you think all the time. You live in a reality of love and the awareness that all that truly exists is light and love. Is that really possible...YES!
It takes everything, your constant devotion to your awakening, your constant dedication to relinquish judgment. And the willingness to be wrong. You must let go of thinking you already have it, and you will be given so much more. I promise you, the adventure of your life is just beginning. You have to want it to expand, to grow, to take you beyond the point where you are right now.
Love and blessings,
Monica
